Recipe Description
A few weeks ago, I was browsing through the bakery department of my grocery store, when I came across a gorgeous cake called “opera cake”. Intrigued, I picked it up to read the description and determined it was very similar to a tiramisu. Since my hubby is OBSESSED with tiramisu, I decided I needed to make it.
Typically, one would grab the cake from the store and call it good, but I am a Cookin’ Chick, right?? Since I was in the baking mood, I quickly turned to google and gathered the ingredients for the cake. That afternoon, I whipped it up and the end result was FABULOUS!
It was very similar to tiramisu, only with added chocolate (score)!! If you love coffee, cake, and especially tiramisu….this cake is for you!!
Enjoy!!
